Change is coming and none too soon. Spent four wonderful months in Indonesia last year, three of which in Bali.. A much changed place in many ways, but still had the magic without the glitz. Indonesia is still magic, not least of which her people: hospitable, open and good humoured. Be back there in Feb. Thanks for your report. Appreciated....and inspires me Stuart.

Thanks! Yeah some places changing fast, particularly those tied to the New Bali thing, but lift a corner of the rug and little has changed.
So true Stuart. I spend a great deal of time in Sumatra.....an undiscovered gem in so many ways.
Fond memories of Labuan Bajo and indeed the whole of Flores. I can only hope it is not the next Bali or indeed tries to be
It is trying! Like me I doubt you’d recognize it today.
Nicely written. I remember walking around Labuan Bajo in 2009 and didn't see another Western traveler.
Thanks, not many about now, that’s for sure!
